Genetic differences that underlie inter-individual variation in the metabolism of common carcinogens are important potential sources of cancer susceptibility. Cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1), a central enzyme in the activation of the ubiquitous environmental carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), has several genetic variants. This study investigated six rare mutations and four common polymorphisms for their effects on B[a]P metabolism. Five missense mutations associated with congenital glaucoma (Gly61Glu, Gly365Trp, Asp374Asn, Pro437Leu and Arg469Tryp) dramatically decreased the capacity of CYP1B1 to convert (-)benzo[a]pyrene-7R-trans-7,8-dihyrodiol (B[a]P-7,8-diol) to (+/-)benzo[a]pyrene-r-7,t-8-dihydrodiol-9,10-epoxides. These five mutations resulted in enzymes with 3-12% of normal activity when assayed in vitro using an Saccharomyces cerevisiae microsomal expression system. A 10 bp deletion mutation produced no detectable protein or activity. In contrast, proteins containing all possible combinations of four common single nucleotide polymorphisms (Arg48Gly, Ala199Ser, Val432Leu, Asn453Ser) had modest effects on B[a]P-7,8-diol metabolism. Michaelis-Menten analysis suggested that two alleles, Arg48, Ala119, Val432, Ser453 (RAVS) and Arg48, Ala119, Leu432, Ser453 (RALS), have K-M values 2-fold lower than Arg48, Ala119, Val432, Ser453 (RAVN): 1.4 +/- 0.3 and 1.3 +/- 0.4 muM, respectively, compared with 2.8 +/- 0.8 muM (P < 0.05). However, these differences could not be confirmed with direct measurements of rate at low substrate concentration. There were no significant differences for either of two other kinetic parameters, k(cat) or k(cat)/K-M. Allele frequency analysis in three populations reveals the Ser453 variant is rare among those of Asian (< 1 %) and African ancestry (< 4 %), and more common in individuals of European ancestry (16%). Haplotypes containing the Ser453 variant were uncommon; only RALS was detectable in our small populations. The RALS allele occurred between 0.5% in Asians and 15 % in Europeans. Our study demonstrates that rare, disease-associated mutations in CYP1B1 significantly decrease the enzyme's metabolism of B[a]P-7,8-diol; however, our results do not identify any major differences in this metabolism due to four common single amino acid polymorphisms.
